Before its official grant, the flag of Sark showed the two lions protruding outside the canton and overflowing the red cross.[4] It was designed by Herbert Pitt in 1938 and adopted the same year as the personal standard of the Seigneur of Sark before unofficially becoming the island's flag in 1987.[5]
